We encourage all community members to contribute actively to the upstream Fineract codebase. All contributions come in the form of a pull request referencing a JIRA ticket outlining the intent of the contribution.

This page aims to summarize and point contributors to the process and requirements for submitting a PR which are spread out across a number of places including our Contribution Guidelines. 

The steps below are part of our Github pull request template as a checklist while submitting. Don't treat this as mere boxes to tick off but rather ensure you're following each step so your PR doesn't get rejected and it can merged in a timely manner:


## Description

Describe the changes made and why they were made.

Ignore if these details are present on the associated [Apache Fineract JIRA ticket](https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/1284).


## Checklist

Please make sure these boxes are checked before submitting your pull request - thanks!

- [ ] Write the commit message as per https://github.com/apache/fineract/#pull-requests

- [ ] Acknowledge that we will not review PRs that are not passing the build _("green")_ - it is your responsibility to get a proposed PR to pass the build, not primarily the project's maintainers.

- [ ] Create/update unit or integration tests for verifying the changes made.

- [ ] Follow coding conventions at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Coding+Conventions.

- [ ] Add required Swagger annotation and update API documentation at fineract-provider/src/main/resources/static/legacy-docs/apiLive.htm with details of any API changes

- [ ] Submission is not a "code dump".  (Large changes can be made "in repository" via a branch.  Ask on the developer mailing list for guidance, if required.)

FYI our guidelines for code reviews are at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Code+Review+Guide.
